Notes

Studio recording, 2010. Clean sections likely used the Bogner Uberschall's clean channel, as referenced in multiple gear rundowns for the 'Nightmare' album. The Schecter Synyster Gates Custom with Seymour Duncan Invader pickups is confirmed as Synyster's main guitar for this era and album. No evidence of live rig for this specific clean part.

Difficulty

The clean riff requires accurate picking and muting for clarity, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast tempo, making it accessible to intermediate players.
